Staffan Roos
Presentation
Jag är en ekolog med inriktning mot naturvårdsbiologi. Jag doktorerade på SLU 2004, men har sedan dess mest arbetat i Storbritannien. Jag har varit postdoc på Queen's University Belfast (2006-2008), Research Ecologist på the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO; 2008-2011) och Senior Conservation Scientist på the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB; 2011-2018). Sedan september 2018 är jag programchef på ArtDatabanken.
Forskning
Min forskning har främst varit inriktad på olika frågeställningar rörande predation, habitatval, effekter av markanvändning, rovfåglars ekologi samt konflikter inom naturvården. I mina studier har jag oftast använt fåglar som modellorganismer.
